Dear Parents/Carers,
We break up for half term holiday on Friday 10th February and return to school on Monday 20th February
School Starts at 8.30 am and register is at 8.40am.
Thanks: Thank you to FAB for the work and planning for our Family Assembly to the end of the year. Thanks to all parents for your positive comments and constructive suggestions which we are already taking on board.
Uniformed Organisations out of school Thinking Day 22 February: Pupils can wear their brownie, cub, scout, guide uniforms on this special day.
Wellbeing Day: Thursday 9th February. All the plans are around Mental Health Week (see newsletter attached). You may be interested that we are also employing a Play Therapist (Day a week) who is working with families and children, in school, who we have highlighted for extra support based on specific needs. From February, after half term, a group of Y6 (to start with ) will be having some small group nurture on their wellbeing. The appointment of a play therapist is using our contingency funding enabled by leaders in the school teaching. All pupils have on-going personal and social education which happens weekly with their class teacher. (PSHE) If you have any concerns about your child’s social and emotional wellbeing (and we have not met about these concerns already) please contact the office to speak to me directly. Strong bonds between a class teacher and pupil and that we help children to navigate modern life is a partnership between home and school.
Parent Consultation: Wednesday 1st March 2.30-5.30 (Please sign up for a virtual meeting) If you would like a face-to-face appointment, please send an email to the office. Please note that face to face meetings with your child’s class teacher can be booked anytime – you do not need to wait for a Parent Consultation. 1st March is also Family Assembly – there will be the opportunity to look round school and see your child’s work on display in the classroom and school. You can look at your child’s books and folders with your child. If we have concerns about your child’s progress we will contact you – and will not wait for a meeting.
Family Assembly 1st March: Coffee Morning and look round and see your child’s work. If your child has gained an award out of school these can also be presented in the assembly.
Clubs – including Drama Club will continue week 20th February.
If there is anything I can help you with, please do not hesitate to contact me. I will always get back to you within two days.
Best wishes,
J. Turner
